Is this a success express day?

No offence intended to anyone who has posted on this thread, but the answers seem a bit mixed and confusing.

Why don't you check out the following thread, I found it very informative and a lot less confusing. It also contains pictures of how your plate should look, with regards to the 2/3 Superfree rule, etc. http://www.minimins.com/slimming-world/200528-success-express.html

I've already read it a few times and tbh, its a lot clearer for me with the input from people on this thread.
 
Have just hunted out my Success Express leaflet I was given by my consultant. So, here goes..



Success Express, uses the same three steps to success: Free Foods, Healthy Extras and Syns, with a focus on Superfree fods that will boost your weight loss beautifully. Whether you follow Success Express every once in a while, every day or something in between, you'll enjoy loads of filling, satisfying food with just a touch more control.

1. Focus on Free Food Power!
Enjoy three Success Express meals a day. Each mealtime, follow the 2-to-1 plate principle: fill one third of your plate with Free Food and two thirds of your plate with Superfree Foods - giving a touch more control to help boost your weight loss. For example, have a third of a plate jacket potato and tuna with a huge side salad filling the remaining two thirds - without weighing or counting.

2. Choose your Healthy Extras
Each day choose once or twice from the Healthy Extra 'a' list and twice from any Healthy Extra 'b' list, weighing and measuring when needed.
You can add your Healthy Extras to meals, for example by having a sandwich made with a third of a plateful of ham, two thirds of a plateful of salad and two slices of wholemeal bread from a small 400g loaf. Or you can enjoy your Healthy Extras between meals.
You'll find the complete Healthy Extras lists on pages 21-25 and 29-33 of your Food Optimising book.

3. Snack on Superfree Foods
Between meals, for starters and desserts, enjoy Superfree foods - fresh or frozen fruit and vegetables. You'll find the complete list on pages 11-13 of your Food Optimising book. You can also enjoy those foods that are Free on both the Green and Original choices - that is eggs, fat free dairy products and vegetable proteins (see page 18 of your Food Optimising book).

4. Enjoy 5-15 Syns
To add a touch of additional structure and help you achieve that great weight loss, with Success Express we ask you to count the higher Syn value wherever they differ. For example, a thick pork sausage has 6 Syns on Original and 8.5 Syns on Green. On a Success Express day, count the higher (green) Syn value.
 
I find the description/rules of the plan a lot more fluent than any on this thread, but that could just be me.

♥ EACH MEAL MUST HAVE 2/3 OF THE PLATE FULL OF SUPER FREE FOODS

♥ 1/3 OF YOUR PLATE MUST BE FREE FOODS FROM THE GREEN & ORIGINAL PLAN (YOU CAN ENJOY FOOD FROM BOTH PLANS OR FROM JUST ONE IF YOU WISH).

♥ CHOOSE YOUR HEALTHY EXTRAS. CHOOSE 1 OR 2 HEALTHY EXTRA A CHOICES & 2 HEALTHY EXTRA B CHOICES (THESE CAN BE USED AS PART OF THE MEAL).

♥ ANY SNACKS YOU EAT INBETWEEN MEALS MUST BE ONLY SUPERFREE FOODS (FOR EXAMPLE FRUIT & SYN FREE YOGURTS).

♥ STILL ENJOY BETWEEN 5-15 SYNS A DAY (ONLY RULE ON SUCCESS EXPRESS IS YOU HAVE TO COUNT THE HIGHER SYN VALUE..........FOR EXAMPLE IF YOU WERE TO HAVE A SAUSAGE THEN YOU WOULD COUNT THE SYNS AS A GREEN DAY).


There are a lot more pictures & meal ideas on the other pages, not just the first. I appreciate not everyone may find it useful, but I did, so I figured someone else probably would too.

I think that's pretty much what I said in my Copy & Paste of the Instructions in Post Number 8

I've not been following this thread too closely asI don't know the answers but have taken on board the answers given, I had no problems following the advice given.
But thanks for trying to clear this up.

But can I ask you Princess Stevie to increase your font size please? The writing is so small I'm getting crows feet lol!
 
Okay, I have obviously narked a few people with my contributions to this thread. Sincere apologies for that, I just wanted to share the way that I best understood the plan, incase anyone else found that way easier to understand, too.

Hopefully this font size will be better x
